Behavioral Technical Coding
I passed stage 2 of the interview process, but haven't heard back yet. It involved some basic motivation questions, an aptitude test, and some numerical/calculation questions that weren't too difficult. The video interview part included motivational questions and a situational question about 'what would you do in this situation'.

Behavioral Technical Presentation
So, we had a panel interview for the Business Manager role on the New Hospitals Programme. The interviewers asked about my experience with project management in healthcare, how I handle pressure and deadlines, and for examples of successful projects. They also wanted to know about my approach to teamwork, managing stakeholders, and staying updated with industry trends. The interview ended with a question about why I'm the best fit and my availability for an immediate start.
